One person's entertainment

Chapter 47, Earn your money with your songs

Shen Lingyou was quite surprised by Jiang Qinqin's sudden arrival.

I thought, is it because I didn’t send her the new album? I promised to give it to her as soon as it was released, but because I was busy with the book signing during the three-day New Year’s Day holiday, I planned to find a time to give it to her after I come back.

I thought that she was not the kind of person who would be fussy about trivial matters, so it was probably something else.

"Why are you here?" he asked when he arrived at the classroom door.

"Can you take a leave in the afternoon? It'll take about one class period." Jiang Qinqin didn't answer him, but asked back, and she looked very anxious because the bell was about to ring: "I'll explain it to you later."

"Okay, wait for me." Shen Lingyou went to talk to the teacher and asked for leave for this class.

Soon, the class bell rang.

Looking at the two people leaving, Hu Dajing frowned and whispered to Zeng Xiaolai: "Hey, where are they going?"

Zeng Xiaolai shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't know.

Hu Dajing raised her hand and touched her chin, looking like a detective, and said, "He just asked for leave this morning, and now he's asking for leave again. Our big star must have...something...going on!"

Zeng Xiaolai rolled his eyes at her when he heard this. Everyone knew that something was wrong, but the key was what it was and why she left with Jiang Qinqin.

Hu Dajing thought for a moment and sighed, "I can't guess. Let's just ask him when he comes back."

"Quiet, class is in session!"

When the teacher's voice came, the classroom suddenly became quiet.

On the other side, Shen Lingyou and Jiang Qinqin went downstairs and walked towards the school gate.

"You mean, you recommended me to Joan?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't ask for your opinion in advance. It was mainly because Aunt Qiong Yao changed the signing time at the last minute. I saw this as an opportunity and made the decision on my own."

"And she fell in love with me?"

"Well, Aunt Qiong Yao said that you have a very good image and are the perfect choice to play the role of Erkang."

"Is this possible? She has never even met me."

"I saw your posters and music videos."

……

On the way, Jiang Qinqin told Shen Lingyou why she came to see him.

After hearing this, Shen Lingyou was even more surprised.

From what she said, it seemed that she had decided to star in "My Fair Princess" and gave up on "Tears in Heaven".

I provided her with advice at that time, but I didn't expect that I would get her recommendation now.

However, it does make sense.

Shen Lingyou did not blame Jiang Qinqin for making the decision without authorization. She must have regarded him as a friend, so she did so. She turned around and asked, "Qiong Yao came to Yanjing?"

Jiang Qinqin shook her head and said, "Aunt Qiong Yao didn't come. The one who came was the general manager of Qiong Yao's artist management company, who is also the producer of the drama Huanzhu, and Aunt Qiong Yao's daughter-in-law, He Xiuqiong."

Shen Lingyou remembered that in the original time and space, Qiong Yao's novels, TV series, and companies were all managed by her son and daughter-in-law.

After a while, I saw He Xiuqiong in a cafe on the next street. She was young, about thirty years old, quiet and dignified.

Her first impression of Shen Lingyou was that he was sunny and handsome. There was nothing she could do about it. She was a producer and was responsible for selecting actors for the main roles. Her first impression of a person always started with his face. After a brief exchange, her second impression was that he was well-mannered, as reflected in his behavior, social skills, and way of thinking.

From this perspective, he is highly similar to Erkang, who is both civil and military, handsome, gentle, elegant, dignified, open-minded and thoughtful.

"My mother-in-law's vision is still so accurate."

After chatting for a few sentences, He Xiuqiong brought the conversation to the point and said, "I don't know if Qinqin told you that I came to Yanjing this time to select actors for the new drama. We want to invite you to play the second male lead."

Erkang is indeed the second male lead, and the first male lead is Yongqi.

Jiang Qinqin's bright eyes flickered as her gaze fell on Shen Lingyou, waiting for his answer.

At this moment, she felt a little expectant and excited, simply because Erkang and Ziwei were a couple, and she happened to play the role of Ziwei.

Shen Lingyou fell into deep thought.

He had thought about it before, but only for a moment, and then he dismissed the idea.

how to say……

He hasn't watched many Qiong Yao dramas, but the ones that left a deep impression on him were: the summer evergreen Return of the Condor Heroes, which he had to watch even if he didn't want to; another was The Love of Qinghe starring Jiang Qinqin and Zhao Wenzhuo, he forgot what it was about but just remembered that the two were terribly in love; and another was The Dream of the Red Chamber starring Bao Jianfeng and Qin Lanlan, which had a crackling line "You only lost a leg, but she lost her love".

After that, I watched various videos on the Internet complaining about the distorted values ​​of Qiong Yao's dramas. If they were broadcast ten or twenty years later, they would probably be "condemned by everyone."

Anyway, he couldn't appreciate it.

So forget about taking part in the show, even if it would make me more famous, I’m not interested in it.

So Shen Lingyou smiled apologetically and said, "First of all, thank you very much for your recognition and invitation. Acting in Aunt Qiong Yao's play is the dream of young people like us in film and television schools. But I'm really sorry, our school is quite special. Unlike Qinqin and her classmates in Beijing Film Academy, we don't allow freshmen and sophomores to take on acting jobs during class. Last time, I just shot the MV of my own song, and I was criticized by the whole school. In addition, I am busy with study and have a lot of academic workload now. I want to learn acting first before considering acting."

Perfect grounds.

He Xiuqiong didn't get angry at all after hearing this, and even wanted to praise him as a good student who loves learning.

Even Jiang Qinqin thought that it was right for him not to act, and that students should focus on their studies.

"But..." Here he comes, changing the subject, Shen Lingyou said: "We can cooperate in another way."

He Xiuqiong became interested and asked, "Which way?"

Shen Lingyou smiled slightly and said, "I am also a singer. I can write and sing, and my level is pretty good. If possible, I hope to write the theme song, interlude, and ending song for your drama."

He Xiuqiong came to see him, of course, not just based on Jiang Qinqin's recommendation, but to get to know him in person. She found out that he was the most popular new singer in the mainland from the end of last year to now, and he was also very popular in Taiwan Province. He wrote the lyrics and music for all the eleven songs he released, and each one was of high quality.

such……

Seems pretty good too.

"Return of the Condor Heroes" is their transitional work. No one knows whether it will be successful or not. If there are songs by Shen Lingyou, then during the promotion period, it can be used as a hot spot to attract the audience's attention.

Shen Lingyou’s idea is very simple, which is to make money from your songs.

The most popular songs in "Return of the Condor Heroes", such as "Dang", "Yudie", "Since I Have You", "There Is a Girl", and "You Are the Wind and I Am the Sand", are so nauseating.

If you don't make this money, you won't make it in vain.

In this way, even if he did not participate in Return of the Condor Heroes, he could still increase his fame by taking advantage of the popularity of Return of the Condor Heroes.

Kill two birds with one stone!
